Did you know that the M&Ms candies we enjoy were once a military-exclusive treat?

The first iteration of the popular milk chocolate candy came packaged in small, easy-to-carry cardboard tubes. They were released to the public in 1941, but a very short time later the U.S. entered World War II and M&Ms became exclusive only to the military where they were packaged and issued with military C-rations and sold in base exchanges and aboard ships in their service stores.

It was only upon the end of World War II that M&Ms were re-released to the public.
